Sesamoiditis is inflammation of the small sesamoid bones beneath the big toe. It is common in runners, dancers, and people who spend long hours on their feet.
What it feels like
Aching or sharp pain under the big toe that worsens with pushing off, walking, or activity.
How we treat it
Rest, supportive and cushioned footwear, offloading padding or orthotics, and anti-inflammatory care relieve most cases. Severe or persistent cases are evaluated for further treatment.
